TLDR
A quantitative meta-analysis of 70 functional neuroimaging studies demonstrates that the right inferior parietal cortex is also engaged in lower-level (bottom-up) computational processes associated with the sense of agency and reorienting attention to salient stimuli.
Predictive coding accounts of shared representations in parieto-insular networks
Shared Cortical Anatomy for Motor Awareness and Motor Control
TLDR
Denial was associated with lesions in areas related to the programming of motor acts, particularly Brodmann's premotor areas 6 and 44, motor area 4, and the somatosensory cortex, suggesting that monitoring systems may be implemented within the same cortical network that is responsible for the primary function that has to be monitored.
Social cognition in premotor and parietal cortex
TLDR
It is suggested that PM neurons provide information about an action's agent and effector as primitives of action cognition within the mirror neuron network, while parietal neurons represent social space and participate in the recognition of another agent's actions in relation to one's own actions within the parieto-prefrontal network.

Toward a Unified Social Motor Cognition Theory of Understanding Mirror-Touch Synaesthesia
TLDR
It is proposed that these two disparate theories of mirror-touch synaesthesia can be synthesized under a unified social motor cognition theory which states that action observation engages two complementary levels of cognitive processing.

Neurophysiological mechanisms underlying the understanding and imitation of action
TLDR
Evidence for the existence of a system, the 'mirror system', that seems to serve this mapping function in primates and humans is discussed, and its implications for the understanding and imitation of action are explored.

A system in the human brain for predicting the actions of others
TLDR
Functional magnetic resonance imaging is tested to provide compelling evidence that areas within the action control system of the human brain are indeed activated when predicting others' actions, but a different action sub-system is activated when preparing one's own actions.

TLDR
The mechanisms involved in infant imitation provide the foundation for understanding that others are 'like me' and underlie the development of theory of mind and empathy for others, and functional neuroimaging studies that explore the neurophysiological substrate of imitation in adults are analyzed.
A PET Exploration of the Neural Mechanisms Involved in Reciprocal Imitation
Imitation is a natural mechanism involving perception-action coupling which plays a central role in the development of understanding that other people, like the self, are mental agents. PET was used…

TLDR
It is shown with functional magnetic resonance imaging that even in the absence of movement the prediction of sequential patterns activates brain areas involved in the representation of specific motor schemas.

TLDR
It is suggested that the right inferior parietal, precuneus and somatosensory cortex are specifically involved in distinguishing self-produced actions from those generated by others.
